My 4.9 mm NT baby - CVS clear

On the 12 week ultrasound I received the very scary news that baby NT was 4.9mm, way higher than even the high normal. My chances were: 1:5 DS, 33.3% some sort of chromossomal issue and 50% change of positive outcome. That is because many times high NT can be related to heart defects and other issues too.

I went through CVS and that came clear - excellent news. Now, I am scared of the next ultrasounds and echocardiography which occurs at week 20. I am so hoping I can still be part of this group until June13 and bring back home a healthy girl.

I would focus on the good news!
Those tests aren't perfect!
If the second came back good then I think you should just focus on the joy of your baby!
My sisters friend just tested positive for HIV..then tested negative 2 weeks later! Science and medicine and tests aren't perfect!
Congrats on your baby :)

Good luck! Have you gone to the cystic hygroma board? You can find a lot of encourraging information there. I'm sure you've already read a lot of scary information too but hang in there! I know how hard it is to wait, believe me I really do know... I won't know until around 20wk if this baby is healthy either. I'm sending strong thoughts of strength and courrage!
